I have suffered with dry eyes for years due to Sjogrens Syndrome. In the last 60 days I took your advice and started eating lots of bacon. I put a teaspoon of bacon grease each cup of hot tea. I also began sleeping with a Hand towel covering my eyes at night. I have seen great improvement. I no longer awake with eye pain. I started strength training, no sugar, no caffeine and I have lost 10 total inches in 60 days. I'm 74 and determined to be healthy. Thanks for all you do.
I've recently tried castor oil on my eye lashes to gently get it into my eyes. It has helped quite a bit. As a side note, my husband has been having sharp near pain in his knee for months. The doctors are stumped. After watching a UA-cam video, I put the oil on a 4x4' gauze, wrapped a bit of plastic wrap around it yo keep the oil ftom getting on things, and then a knee sleeve over that. He hasn't needed oxycodone for three nights now! And in the morning, his pain was completely gone. After suffering for months, we are very thankful. 🙏🏼 All the best.
Congratulations! I have had dry eyes for years but just recently received the diagnosis of Sjogren's syndrome. It's so difficult to avoid sugar---they even put dextrose in iodized salt now. I am 78 now. Sounds like you are destined for success due to your own efforts!
For years, I used to wake up nearly every morning with my eyes dry and painful and almost unable to open. I went Keto a year and a half ago. I just realized it has been a long, long time since my eyes hurt in the morning. I didn't even realize it had gone away!
oh my, I forgot about that joy! when I couldn't even open my eyes they hurt so bad and were a mess!! so much better now. went carnivore and quit all booze and coke.
@@MrDavidknigge check your gall bladder, Dr. Berg explains if your bile doesn't work beacuse e.g. of stones in your gallbladder, you don't absorb fat and fat soluble vitamines like vit A.
@@justsaying4451 I started 29 days ago and have lost 21 pounds. NO cravings for carbage. Love a 16 hour fast followed by a good healthy fat. You won't believe how you're going to feel.
My dry eyes started after Lasik. I have used prescription drops and even had plugs. Drops helped somewhat. I started adding cod liver oil to my diet and to my surprise it has helped my dry eyes. Who knew!
I'm 64 year old woman who needs to lose at least 100 pounds. I've started the carnivore diet this week after watching Dr. Berry's and others videos. So excited to do this. My goal is to do it for at least a month and assess my health and keep going if I feel it's going well. After just a few days I feel lighter and my skin seems softer and more clear. I think I'm probably in a bit of a detox from sugar and carbs, but I'm very much thrilled with how full and satisfied I feel. Thank you Dr Berry! I plan to check back in with my results after a month. 🙏❤️👍 Oh and hoping my dry eyes improve too!
WOW! I just realized that I haven't used eye drops in 29 days. I would wake up and feel like I had been in a sand storm. Eyes stuck shut.Tomorrow is 30 days on Keto/Carnivore. Imagine that! AND have shed 21 pounds. THANK YOU DR. BERRY!.
Yeah I'm addicted now.. had chronic debilitating nerve-pain for a third of my life that doctors kept getting me to spend tens of thousands on 'managing'... until I found the root cause and was able to **cure** it through lifestyle change... then followed the *actual resolution* of many PTSD triggers through inner-work and lifestyle change instead of medications to manage symptoms (I'm happier than ever and take no medications whatsoever to feel that way), I corrected my chronic eczema and dry eyes by adjusting my diet, etc... nobody told me I could be perfectly healthy all on my own if I knew what lifestyle changes to make. I feel so much more free and empowered these days and take pride in being responsible for my own health!
OMG! I’m 1 week into my “Keto/Carnivore” experiment, and the first physical symptom I’ve experienced relief from is DRY EYE! Thank you so much! (BTW my first meal today: calf liver, 3 eggs, 2 pieces bacon!)
It's better than get vitamins through your diet but do you want to gain weight and change your diet? Sure . Well you should if your diet it too much carbs and worse sugar, in particular. So believer me you should eat right but take more supplements of fish oil, omega 6 (if you have my diet, you will need it.. he's talk about those who eat a lot of junk food, etc) , olive oil , lutein, zeaxanthin. Or go out to the west coast for the perfect salmon. There are studies underway that indicate choline is good for Meibomian gland dysfunction. Glutathione supplements could help or go ahead take a lot of time to eat the right foods. Take Spermidine - read up on it first, don't trust me or Ken . B12 (not synthetic) can possibly help. Check with you doctor first but eat eggs, don't worry about the cholesterol; Ken is right. Also they have a new eye product .. called Travaya .. may not be as expensive as you read. Look into it. I have nothing to do with the company. Look into eye drops. Just be careful
Keto and high fat meats have cured my inflammatory dry eye syndrome. I suffered for a long time - horrible debilitating symptoms. Thank you Dr. Berry for educating about the value of eating high fat meats and low carb healthy whole food and eliminating bad oils and crappy carbs to eliminate dry eyes - and so many other health issues.
Thank you always for your knowledge and expertise. I found you a year and a half ago and went on the keto living. I lost 40 pounds and as a female I feel awesome. My husband lost 55 pounds and he looks and feels great. Thank you. However, I just awaken with pain in my right eye and did not know why. I felt like I had sand in my eye and my eyes are so tired and I feel exhausted so I have to close them in the middle of the day so I can continue with my day. I went to the eye doctor and he suggested lubricate eye drops but I am applying them 6 seven times a day. As you said, the sand feeling in my eye has disappeared but my eyes ache with pain and I need to close my eyes or take a nap. I also have high cholesterol of over 400 and my doctor wants me to stop keto but I feel that my cholesterol is hereditary and it is always going to be high. I am a mess right now and so confused. I am increasing my omega with fish such as salmon and I hope I will feel better by the end of April. Again, I am lost for words. I stopped all medication for high cholesterol and I feel great. I can do my walks, I can sleep, I am no longer inflamed, and my body aches have disappeared. Thank you for all your insights and knowledge. I will increase my omega intake and hope this eye dry can at least subside or disappear.
I worked with a menopausal lady who had dry eyes. I had read an article that mentiioned flax seed oil being beneficial to use in diet. She bought some and told me many months later that not only had it worked but that she was now wearing contact lenses for the first time ever!
My 76 year old husband and I both have it. The eye specialist told my husband that his glands were dying off and he needed to use warm compresses every day to prevent that. Maybe they do wear out as we age.
@@Cooliorodriguez94 Hey, thanks. I lost the link and forgot the name of the video. This diet has helped my husband tremendously. He still uses drops, but not so much, mostly due to teo detached retina surgeries. Thank you for asking.
Biggest risk to severe dry eyes is Laser eye surgery. I had SMILE and I now have debilitating severe dry eyes leaving me unable to open my eyes fully, unable to work and unable to go outdoors. The prognosis is lifelong disability. Never have laser eye surgery. It is neither safe nor effective.
Of my list of healed ailments, thanks to one year of keto, I had not even remembered my dry, sandy eyes until this video! It's just so normal not to be bothered with that irritation, rubbing them all the time to try and encourage moisture. Wow! When I think back to the discomfort and annoyance ... Very grateful.
Anyone who thinks supplements are totally unnecessary is usually wrong. Hundreds of human studies show how helpful they can be, particularly for those with limited diets. I understand that omega 3s have no value but Triglyceride Omega 3s in human studies show benefits for dry eyes though it's not going to make or break and they cost a lot more so I would not recommend it. I have found that Lacterrifin capsules and alpha lipoic acid (200 mg daily) is effective but don't take 600 mg or your hair can fall out. Glycine supplements can help and collagen can help. There is a Preservative Free eye ointment with manuka honey and glycerin that has really helped severe eye dryness. Squeezing not blinking my eyes helped me produce tears.
So happy Dr. Berry presented on this subject, which is rarely discussed. This condition can be so very painful it is beyond anything. Very valuable nutritional points made here. I have never heard of any actual research to back his ideas up, though, but that's natural since you can't patent food. My eye docs never speak about what Dr. B. just said, and he's not an eye doctor. I am eating high fat and am losing weight, as it keeps me from getting hungry.
This is so true. I used to drink sweet tea...I'm talking Southern Sweet Tea. On a hot summer day, with sweat running from nearly all pores...my eyes would almost stick shut because of having so much sugar in my system. Not to mention, the mosquitoes and sweat bees would hunt me out. Since I've changed to this way of eating, no more sticky eyes, mosquitoes, or sweat bees. I'm amazed.
WOW, this is awesome. My sister has scleroderma and I have been telling her to change her diet for years now; and I am so happy you addressed this issue specifically. I am definitely going to share!!!
I’ve struggled with dry and oily issues in my eyes for the past year. The oily part was worse than the dry part. Just a few weeks ago I found I had the exact condition you discussed here. For about 2 weeks, I was putting hot, wet clothes on my eyes, then massaging my kids, as the article I read suggested. It was helpful to do this, but I still had some issues. Just this past week, I moved to only 10 or fewer carbs a day and eating more fatty foods. And my eyes have felt great!! Unwittingly, I have done what you suggested. But now I know to follow this continually, as I NEVER want to face this eye issue again. Not only did it feel bad, but my eyes were looking tired and red, and really aged me on the worse days!! I love the information you so freely share with us!! Thank you so much.
Thank you for this sensible insightful suggestion. You have explained how dry eye is caused and cured - something my GP is utterly ignorant of - as is my ophthalmologist! Unreal, but true! All they recommend are eye drops which just don't address the problem. Ken, would you like to come to the UK and run the NHS for us? Please!
Warm weather has helped stop my eyelids sticking to my eyeball overnight. This has made the biggest difference in my dry eye. Warm weather also significantly reduced the migraine like pain cascade that the eye damage was causing.
Hi Andrew, Can you please share what you did to fix your gut health? I’m currently dealing with dry eyes and allergic conjunctivitis. Are you on Keto as well?
I think this is all good advice, however there is one extra thing I had to do which then suddenly made the big difference to my dry eyes: get rid of demodex mites. These mites live on most people, they actually live INSIDE the meibomian glands and only emerge in darkness to mate and then return back inside again. They cause the oil to clog. When I wake up in darkness I get a tea tree oil wipe and get rid of them. It sounds bizarre but it is completely true. There are demodex removal wipes specifically made for this.
Sjogren’s Syndrome here. I’ve wanted to dig my eyes out with a spoon due to pain. I’m on two eyedrops several times a day. I’ve had surgery on one eye and don’t care to ever go through that again. Following you has helped keep me on track. I’ve seriously thought of making the trek to TN to see if I need to make you my permanent pcp.
Back in 1986 I had a laser surgery closure of part of the tear duct on eacheye. It didn;t work and I have had this issue for decades. I have been on Keto for 5 weeks graduating into it and like all the other benefits I just realized the last few days that my dry eyes are almost completely gone. It is disappearing like every other form of inflamation I had.
Thank you so much Dr Berry for teaching me about my severe dry eyes! I’ve been given so many drops by my doctors that scare me and make me feel worse because of you I feel I can help my self* I need you Your amazing*
Thank you!! Living in dry Colorado, this is great advice. We love our Keto diet & lifestyle and have had excellent health benefits so far. But, we’ll add even more of the foods you’re recommending to deal better with our low-humidity climate here, which often creates moderately (but still uncomfortable!) itchy, dry eyes. Your advice has always been proven to be Golden for us!🥰
Daniel, I am 68 and had dry eye syndrome for decades. I was keto for 1 year and then started carnivore/ketovore and my dry eye symptoms improved after 6 months. Not totally gone but I can wake up in the am and not have to put eye drops in my eyes because they are sticky.
I have Sjogrens Syndrome, which is an autoimmune disease. The dry eye and Mybomiun glad disfunction was the first of several symptoms. The best thing I’ve done is cut carbs, hence Keto, and now almost Carnivote. The increase in animal fat, and having my own chickens laying beautiful eggs has helped tremendously.
I am vegan (anti cruelty grounds) Now iam keto, high fat and low carbs, sugar and seed oil. My dry eyes were terrible...felt like i had razor blades in them. Now, my dry eyes are 95% improved. I will try some of yr suggestions. Thnku.
My mom(68yrs old)has been suffering for a decade. She told me the other day that after taking marine based collagen for 8 months she started seeing the results for her eye dryness & hair thickness. She did not expect this because she initially started taking it for her face & arthritis. According to her her usage of lubricant drop significantly dropped to 3x/day from 15x/day & her hair would fall off like crazy but now her hair strands are not only thicker also not falling off as much. Even her hairstylist mentioned that her hair got fuller & didn’t fall oof as much while he was styling her hair.
Wow, Who would know the dry eye had a root in the food too. I always heard associations with exposure to dust, contaminated places, sun, overfocused behavior, and that it provoked carnocity to the side of middle face. Thank you very much. Topics like this are excuse for my dad and I to stay in contact. It is amazing the years you have in your area of work, 30 years I heard. Thank you for sharing good knowledge!
Wow! My hubby is on your your diet, the one to lose weight, and fix his diabetes! So I’m already eating some of the things 😊 AND... he’s lost 20 lbs, & is off one of his meds! He feels better, and looks so much better! Exciting, having a new Doctor!! Thank You!❤️
I’m keto/ carnivore for 6 years now and 3 years ago I got lasic eye surgery, Now I own stock in systane eye drops. At least I can read and see without bifocals. I good trade off . I think my eyes healed faster because of my fasting and PHD that I’m eating. So many benefits !
I have had a big improvement in my dry eye condition by eliminating sugar from my diet. I did this to look for improvement in my fibromyalgia. So i did have some improvement in that as well. I think part of the dry eyes for me are the drugs that i take for pain and sleep Anyway it’s good to have improvement in my eyes
I do think as well that certain medications, like some to treat thyroid ailments, are implicated in the emergence of dry eye problems in their users, sharon bayger. Helpful point. I guess the thing is to figure out how to get the benefit of such a medication & yet bypass the dry eyes symptom.
Hello Sharon, thanks for your message. I also developed Fibromyalgia in the last 2 years. Kindly tell me the diet you used to get healed of this problem. I have pains all over my body. It reduces when I do sports and physiotherapy. Thanks Ben Iza from Kigali-Rwanda
I had outpatient surgery 3 days ago to remove a tumor on my uterus, no cancer. I ended up staying an extra couple of days bc my internal organs were out of place with scar tissue and it ended up being a more complicated surgery. Since I wasn’t expecting to stay I didn’t have my lid wipes or anything. Ever since, my eyes seem cured of dry eye. I wonder if the tumor (grapefruit size), was causing inflammation or an infection? Since surgery i also no longer have back pain. I realize this could be temporary, but I’m praying for a full recovery of my weird symptoms.
I didn’t have dry eye problems until I developed glaucoma over 30 years ago. Some surgeries were less than effective, I think some of them were mistakes and in my right eye I had nine different surgeries and six in my left eye. Cataract surgery began problems with my left eye which in the past was not a problem with glaucoma like the right eye was. So I developed gout and I’m not supposed to eat any kind of organ meat like liver. I still do eat some of it I know there’s so many things on the gout list of no no’s that you must eat something to live. What did man do 500 years ago? I suppose just die of something early. I guess I didn’t mention, I’m blind in my right eye about 95%, I can see light but nothing beyond that. I also didn’t mention that my surgeon recommended that I get eyelid surgery for droopy eyelids, that contributed to dry eyes as well so I have used drops in the past, I’ll see what I can do to make it better. Everything that they say is bad now in a year or two they’ll say it is good, like butter.
Thank you, Dr. Berry. My husband has “dry eye” and suffers with redness, swelling, continuous tearing in his right eye only. I’ve heard that tear duct plugs would help. I never knew this about those types of foods you’d mentioned. I’ll definitely be updating our Ketogenic Lifestyle to accommodate the needs of his mobian glands for the excretion of mebum. What an excellent explanation. Serendipitously, we reside in the Pacific Northwest. I am so glad you listed those foods to avoid (as well as the advice on the dietary supplements...I AGREE WHOLEHEARTEDLY). Thank you!
Kathleen Dexter --- I beg you, get your husband some iodine. Read what I wrote in this comment section about it. You put drops in your beverage, not the eye.
I had tear duct plugs put in many years back. They never helped, only had them in about 6 months because the ducts became infected and they had to push them out...would never recommend anyone getting them.
My eye doc put put plugs in my eyes. One eye never produced the first tear. The other one constantly watered and would run down my face. I had to carry a tissue all the time. It was like I was looking thru water. Two weeks later I had them removed. The plugs were an expensive mistake.
@@marilynguinnane4663 I've been taking iodine for other benefits, but I do remember tear production (saliva and sweat also) as benefits of supplementing or inability of those things as symptoms of iodine deficiency.
You are hilarious! We cauterize the puntum... we don't sew eyelids shut. Usually try a little plug first. The rest was SPOT ON!!! Better info than most ophthalmologists will bother to give.
Thank you so much Doc!!! ❤❤. I have suffered from this for years and this is the first time I have ever heard why or how to fix it. I thought I was doomed to buy eye drops the rest of my life. Thank you so much!!
Vitamin A - how interesting that I KNOW when my pug needs liver, because his eyes get all squinty, blinky and full of sticky gunk. I I just thought it worked cos it's so rich in nutrients. He'll even hoe into it raw, which he will not do with raw minced beef. A week of even the highest-quality, grain-free canned dog food will effect his eyes so much that I have to put him on carnivore and include liver. And then the bloodshot whites of his eyes go really white, too. My dog's been a great experiment, to see just how beneficial to health ditching starches is.
This advice worked for me. My eyes were very painful, excruciating to blink sometimes. Since going strict Keto, no more problems with dry eyes for the last 7 months.
I've had dry eyes for years, had refractive lens exchange two years ago which should have made it worse but since eating keto for one year now it has almost gone!
I was diagnosed with dry eye in my 40's the optometrist gave me different drops to try..I picked Bion tears and have used them ever since ...they come in a box and are singular....they are about $13 a box but the doctor can write a script and you get 3 boxes for a script price . It's worth it😊
THANK YOU for this information. I've had night time dry eye for over a year and just thought it was part of menopause. I'll be opening up the sardine can at dinner soon
I came across an eye doctor that recommended a supplement he tried for 90 days for his own dry eye syndrome. It’s De 3. I noticed a difference in my eyes after 2 days. And that’s with having Bell’s palsy on top of dry eye.
I never really thought of it as dry eye because it was always accompanied with other allergy symptoms. I just lumped them all together as allergies, especially since the optometrist once told me I had allergic conjunctivitis. Since I started keto, and more particularly since I stopped eating yogurt, my "seasonal" allergies have disappeared. And until just now I didn't even realize that the dry irritated eyes were also no longer a problem.
Thank you. From today I started your diet, which you write. I have had dry eyes for 15 years. The doctors did not tell me what was wrong with my eyes. A small country and little competition for doctors
I agree about root cause... everything you are saying is right. But Makuna honey eye drops were a real game changer. They hurt like a bugger when you put them in but afterwards... amazing.
I was just talking to someone about this, she got a "prescription" for O3 EFAs. Told her about wet tears and "sticky" tears and how she needs small fatty fish. Hopefully I can get her to watch this so she won't think I'm such a nut.
My eyes are fine but, my poor little dog suffers terribly with dry eye. I know vit A can acumulate & become toxic in dogs however she'll be very grateful to get a serving of chicken liver every day. Finding an affordable option among the fish you suggest, instead of fish oil. That's the challenge. Thanks Doc! 👍👍👍
I have been suffering dry eyes on and off for about a year now. I knew it was food related but had thought it was a reaction caused by something I had eaten...never realized it could be a lack of something. Just realized my eyes were good this morning...not dry or the kids sticking to the eyeball! And what did I eat for supper last night? A big plate of smelt friend in beef tallow! I ate more tonight too! And I have enough for another meal tomorrow night. I've been eating more fish and before I wasn't eating any at all. Was only eating lamb, eggs & grass fed milk/ yogurt. Found out I was sensitive to milk and eggs though!
Do you know for sure it's the eggs and not what the chickens are fed? Some people find out that when they eat eggs from chickens NOT fed corn/soy, they don't have problems. Just some info to consider.
@@w1975b the problem is that ALL of the eggs sold around here no matter the brand are proudly marked "fed a vegetarian diet" which means they are fed corn & wheat. And I react to all grains. There are no eggs sold in the stores here that are grain free. Plus a blood test said I react to both parts of the egg.
@@sarahb.6475 Yes, very hard to find the really good quality eggs. Here in Canada the organic only pasture raised eggs can be 8 bucks a dozen and even then can you trust that they aren't fed grains
I absolutely cannot eat fish (maybe if I was hypnotized!) However, I do swallow a highly refined fish oil and I really like liver, bacon, and eggs. Thank you, Dr. Berry!
Thank you very much for this video. I know have no doubt a low fat diet with wrong thinking about healthy oils gave me serious dry eye problems. Eye doctors have tried over priced moisture and redness drops, tetracycline over months, expensive prescription eye drops, laser treatments and recently two rounds of name brand steroid drops with temporary relief. I have been on a keto diet for less than a month now and have seen amazing positive changes. Love the education I get at 61 from your videos to expose the truth. 🙏❤️
I've focused much on the foods listed (fish, meats, butter, yolks), over the past decade + and yet my *Sjogren's induced dry eyes* haven't reversed. Now, I will say... _that it hasn't gotten worse either._ ♥️
Venus Williams ( the tennis player) has Sjogrens. Despite that, she has been able to play at a fairly high level. It would be interesting to know what kind of program her doctors have her on.
Thank you for your insightful and valuable information about dry eye. I suffer from severe GVHS after undergoing a transplant. I tried using a vegan diet when I had aplastic anemia and it did not work. Now that I have ocular eye disease from cancer I will try to eat more Omega rich foods and foods rich in vitamin a. You have all these so called healers liked Gerson who spoke about juicing before she died but she did not even have ay sort of degree. It is unreal that people get the nerve to write books and open healing centers that lack any form of education.
Thank you for all you do. I have been following you for a couple of years and have reversed all my chronic diseases T2D, HBP and 200 pound weight loss. I am currently strictly carnivore and have never felt better. Thanks again. Side note: the board certification certificate behind you in your videos appears to be crooked in the frame. Just my OCD KICKING IN! 😂
I have been suffering from dry eyesa long time. I always thought it was from watching the screen tto much like now. I’m an i formation addict and proud of that. 👊 So I bought pharmacy drops which helped for an hour or so and which cost from 1000 - 2000€ per liter!!!!!! THAT IS INSANE. so I went looking for an alternative and found CASTOR OIL! Cheap and one drop before bed relieves my eyes for a couple of days ❤. Now I want to see what food I can add to my meager meals to attack the problem at the source. I do not switch to keto. Never. That is not for me. But I can add stuff to what I eat. IF they are not expensive!
I’ve had severe dry eyes since my thirties I’m now 57. I’m a fish lover so it doesn’t make sense to me that I have dry eyes! I love sardines and salmon. I also love chicken liver and I eat only free range eggs too . I can’t wait to see if he can help me! I guess I need to know
I have over producing tears from Dry Eye Condition where Dry Eye condition is over producing my tear production so my condition is called Over producing tears from Dry Eye so could you please make a video on this as I sure would love it as I love all your videos and your videos got me started on Keto by explaining what Keto was and let me know I with my low income I could afford to eat a Keto diet and as of this date I have lost 65 pounds on Keto in a year. I started at the weight on January 28, 2022 at 223 pounds and as of January 9, 2023 I weigh 158 pounds. I love eating Keto as I have COPD and never smoked got it from second hand smoke from living with smoking parents and now I can breath better and I had Spinal Meningitis in 1965 at 5 weeks old as a baby and my loss of balance issues are still there but are much better and I can walk an hour before I have to sit down and can do my exercises I learned at Physical Therapy without pain and I now have no pain in my head and can grow my hair out from bald now and I can stand up at the stove and cook my lunch without pain and I owe it all to your video telling me what the Keto diet is and oh I have had a laser surgery in 9/1993 to remove my gallbladder and as long as I do not eat foods that are a mouth full of grease I can do Keto and I take generic questran in the morning as soon as I get up to not have diarrhea from my loss of gallbladder. So thank You for making these Keto and Carnivore videos.
I would love to see you get together with Dr. Berg, Ekman, Williams, Sung (wheat belly diet) and Dr. Gundry. I would pay to see you guys do a health conference where you all discuss topics of health together
I have suffered with dry eyes for years due to Sjogrens Syndrome. In the last 60 days I took your advice and started eating lots of bacon. I put a teaspoon of bacon grease each cup of hot tea. I also began sleeping with a Hand towel covering my eyes at night. I have seen great improvement. I no longer awake with eye pain. I started strength training, no sugar, no caffeine and I have lost 10 total inches in 60 days. I'm 74 and determined to be healthy. Thanks for all you do.
Hello, may I ask how the Sjogren's is today? I also have Sjogren's with muscle pain and dry eyes. Is all of that better? TYIA.
I've recently tried castor oil on my eye lashes to gently get it into my eyes. It has helped quite a bit.
As a side note, my husband has been having sharp near pain in his knee for months. The doctors are stumped. After watching a UA-cam video, I put the oil on a 4x4' gauze, wrapped a bit of plastic wrap around it yo keep the oil ftom getting on things, and then a knee sleeve over that. He hasn't needed oxycodone for three nights now! And in the morning, his pain was completely gone. After suffering for months, we are very thankful. 🙏🏼
All the best.
Congratulations! I have had dry eyes for years but just recently received the diagnosis of Sjogren's syndrome. It's so difficult to avoid sugar---they even put dextrose in iodized salt now. I am 78 now. Sounds like you are destined for success due to your own efforts!
why do you use hand towel?
@@dorcasowens1210 me as well along with the aches and pains in the body. Horrible
For years, I used to wake up nearly every morning with my eyes dry and painful and almost unable to open. I went Keto a year and a half ago. I just realized it has been a long, long time since my eyes hurt in the morning. I didn't even realize it had gone away!
I'm keto now 2 years but still dry eyes in morning.
@@MrDavidknigge Maqui berry is the only nutritional supplement that I know of that might help. No guarantees.
oh my, I forgot about that joy! when I couldn't even open my eyes they hurt so bad and were a mess!! so much better now. went carnivore and quit all booze and coke.
@@katjongeward7155 so did only eating meat help with your dry eyes?
@@MrDavidknigge check your gall bladder, Dr. Berg explains if your bile doesn't work beacuse e.g. of stones in your gallbladder, you don't absorb fat and fat soluble vitamines like vit A.
This is true. My dry eye problems completely went away after eating high fat diet. No more eye drops!
Thank you Dr berry i lost 190 lbs thanks to you ❤❤
That is AWESOME!!! Congrats!! I need to lose about 90, so I'm starting on it now.
Congrats!
Keto makes it very easy !
@@justsaying4451 I started 29 days ago and have lost 21 pounds. NO cravings for carbage. Love a 16 hour fast followed by a good healthy fat. You won't believe how you're going to feel.
Congratulations 🥳
My dry eyes started after Lasik. I have used prescription drops and even had plugs. Drops helped somewhat. I started adding cod liver oil to my diet and to my surprise it has helped my dry eyes. Who knew!
lasik destroyed e eyes as well.
are you still ok?
What brand and where didnyou buy it? thx
Yeah, Even I have dry eyes after lasik. I'll try cod liver oil. Thanks
Dry eye after lasik does go away eventually, so it might no be related.
Lasik messed me up too
I'm 64 year old woman who needs to lose at least 100 pounds. I've started the carnivore diet this week after watching Dr. Berry's and others videos. So excited to do this. My goal is to do it for at least a month and assess my health and keep going if I feel it's going well. After just a few days I feel lighter and my skin seems softer and more clear. I think I'm probably in a bit of a detox from sugar and carbs, but I'm very much thrilled with how full and satisfied I feel. Thank you Dr Berry! I plan to check back in with my results after a month. 🙏❤️👍
Oh and hoping my dry eyes improve too!
will you share an update?
Rooting for you!
I’m just starting too. Trying to lose 15 (Covid) pounds. Started intermittent fasting 3 days ago and feeling lighter already.
Good luck, yes let us know how things go for you. 😉
WOW! I just realized that I haven't used eye drops in 29 days. I would wake up and feel like I had been in a sand storm. Eyes stuck shut.Tomorrow is 30 days on Keto/Carnivore. Imagine that! AND have shed 21 pounds. THANK YOU DR. BERRY!.
I'll try it, i was avoiding meat
Wonderful!
Congratulations!
hi can you recommended witc Keto diet to follow pls?
I smiled when he mentioned “Big Ass Salads”. Always current, hip and relevant.
Thank you Dr. Berry. More real doctors are giving us meaningful medical advice. Finding the root cause is more important than just fixing symptoms.
Yeah I'm addicted now.. had chronic debilitating nerve-pain for a third of my life that doctors kept getting me to spend tens of thousands on 'managing'... until I found the root cause and was able to **cure** it through lifestyle change... then followed the *actual resolution* of many PTSD triggers through inner-work and lifestyle change instead of medications to manage symptoms (I'm happier than ever and take no medications whatsoever to feel that way), I corrected my chronic eczema and dry eyes by adjusting my diet, etc... nobody told me I could be perfectly healthy all on my own if I knew what lifestyle changes to make. I feel so much more free and empowered these days and take pride in being responsible for my own health!
OMG! I’m 1 week into my “Keto/Carnivore” experiment, and the first physical symptom I’ve experienced relief from is DRY EYE! Thank you so much! (BTW my first meal today: calf liver, 3 eggs, 2 pieces bacon!)
Nice! Was it meibomial gland dysfunction by chance?
Why so little bacon? Jeez.
It's better than get vitamins through your diet but do you want to gain weight and change your diet? Sure . Well you should if your diet it too much carbs and worse sugar, in particular.
So believer me you should eat right but take more supplements of fish oil, omega 6 (if you have my diet, you will need it.. he's talk about those who eat a lot of junk food, etc) , olive oil , lutein, zeaxanthin. Or go out to the west coast for the perfect salmon.
There are studies underway that indicate choline is good for Meibomian gland dysfunction. Glutathione supplements could help or go ahead take a lot of time to eat the right foods. Take Spermidine - read up on it first, don't trust me or Ken . B12 (not synthetic) can possibly help. Check with you doctor first but eat eggs, don't worry about the cholesterol; Ken is right.
Also they have a new eye product .. called Travaya .. may not be as expensive as you read. Look into it. I have nothing to do with the company. Look into eye drops. Just be careful
I love liver!
@@beau5296 Maybe because they now sell it the price of gold.
Keto and high fat meats have cured my inflammatory dry eye syndrome. I suffered for a long time - horrible debilitating symptoms. Thank you Dr. Berry for educating about the value of eating high fat meats and low carb healthy whole food and eliminating bad oils and crappy carbs to eliminate dry eyes - and so many other health issues.
Awesome Cathy! Was it meibomial gland dysfunction and did you also eat sea food?
What cooking oil did you start using?
Thank you always for your knowledge and expertise. I found you a year and a half ago and went on the keto living. I lost 40 pounds and as a female I feel awesome. My husband lost 55 pounds and he looks and feels great. Thank you. However, I just awaken with pain in my right eye and did not know why. I felt like I had sand in my eye and my eyes are so tired and I feel exhausted so I have to close them in the middle of the day so I can continue with my day. I went to the eye doctor and he suggested lubricate eye drops but I am applying them 6 seven times a day. As you said, the sand feeling in my eye has disappeared but my eyes ache with pain and I need to close my eyes or take a nap. I also have high cholesterol of over 400 and my doctor wants me to stop keto but I feel that my cholesterol is hereditary and it is always going to be high. I am a mess right now and so confused. I am increasing my omega with fish such as salmon and I hope I will feel better by the end of April.
Again, I am lost for words. I stopped all medication for high cholesterol and I feel great. I can do my walks, I can sleep, I am no longer inflamed, and my body aches have disappeared. Thank you for all your insights and knowledge. I will increase my omega intake and hope this eye dry can at least subside or disappear.
I worked with a menopausal lady who had dry eyes. I had read an article that mentiioned flax seed oil being beneficial to use in diet. She bought some and told me many months later that not only had it worked but that she was now wearing contact lenses for the first time ever!
I’m post menopausal and I’m going to order flax seed capsules. I used to take them years ago. Thank you. I can’t even open my eyes some mornings.
That's another seed oil
Im going to try this with my husband. Hes suffered for years with this.
Ill post the results when time.
I had this problem too, since I started the carnivore diet it's gone
My 76 year old husband and I both have it. The eye specialist told my husband that his glands were dying off and he needed to use warm compresses every day to prevent that. Maybe they do wear out as we age.
@@a.w.9662 some problems get worse as we get older!!!
Hi Mary, any update?
@@Cooliorodriguez94
Hey, thanks. I lost the link and forgot the name of the video.
This diet has helped my husband tremendously. He still uses drops, but not so much, mostly due to teo detached retina surgeries.
Thank you for asking.
Biggest risk to severe dry eyes is Laser eye surgery. I had SMILE and I now have debilitating severe dry eyes leaving me unable to open my eyes fully, unable to work and unable to go outdoors. The prognosis is lifelong disability. Never have laser eye surgery. It is neither safe nor effective.
Of my list of healed ailments, thanks to one year of keto, I had not even remembered my dry, sandy eyes until this video! It's just so normal not to be bothered with that irritation, rubbing them all the time to try and encourage moisture. Wow! When I think back to the discomfort and annoyance ... Very grateful.
Anyone who thinks supplements are totally unnecessary is usually wrong. Hundreds of human studies show how helpful they can be, particularly for those with limited diets. I understand that omega 3s have no value but Triglyceride Omega 3s in human studies show benefits for dry eyes though it's not going to make or break and they cost a lot more so I would not recommend it. I have found that Lacterrifin capsules and alpha lipoic acid (200 mg daily) is effective but don't take 600 mg or your hair can fall out. Glycine supplements can help and collagen can help. There is a Preservative Free eye ointment with manuka honey and glycerin that has really helped severe eye dryness. Squeezing not blinking my eyes helped me produce tears.
I wish he practiced in central Florida. This is a great doctor
So happy Dr. Berry presented on this subject, which is rarely discussed. This condition can be so very painful it is beyond anything. Very valuable nutritional points made here. I have never heard of any actual research to back his ideas up, though, but that's natural since you can't patent food. My eye docs never speak about what Dr. B. just said, and he's not an eye doctor. I am eating high fat and am losing weight, as it keeps me from getting hungry.
Thank you for this. I wish I knew this before spending lots of money with allergists. They don't even talk about diet.
Right as most Drs do not with any disease for that matter.
They want those dollars from those pills
This is so true. I used to drink sweet tea...I'm talking Southern Sweet Tea.
On a hot summer day, with sweat running from nearly all pores...my eyes would almost stick shut because of having so much sugar in my system.
Not to mention, the mosquitoes and sweat bees would hunt me out.
Since I've changed to this way of eating, no more sticky eyes, mosquitoes, or sweat bees.
I'm amazed.
WOW, this is awesome. My sister has scleroderma and I have been telling her to change her diet for years now; and I am so happy you addressed this issue specifically. I am definitely going to share!!!
I’ve struggled with dry and oily issues in my eyes for the past year. The oily part was worse than the dry part. Just a few weeks ago I found I had the exact condition you discussed here. For about 2 weeks, I was putting hot, wet clothes on my eyes, then massaging my kids, as the article I read suggested. It was helpful to do this, but I still had some issues. Just this past week, I moved to only 10 or fewer carbs a day and eating more fatty foods. And my eyes have felt great!! Unwittingly, I have done what you suggested. But now I know to follow this continually, as I NEVER want to face this eye issue again. Not only did it feel bad, but my eyes were looking tired and red, and really aged me on the worse days!! I love the information you so freely share with us!! Thank you so much.
Hi how many times used hot wet clothes ???
You had to message your kids for relief?! Someone needs to call CPS

Thank you for this sensible insightful suggestion. You have explained how dry eye is caused and cured - something my GP is utterly ignorant of - as is my ophthalmologist! Unreal, but true! All they recommend are eye drops which just don't address the problem. Ken, would you like to come to the UK and run the NHS for us? Please!
I really need to pay more attention to Dr. Berry, he keeps hitting the mark dead on with my symptoms.
Warm weather has helped stop my eyelids sticking to my eyeball overnight. This has made the biggest difference in my dry eye.
Warm weather also significantly reduced the migraine like pain cascade that the eye damage was causing.
My dry eye went away when I started keto 2 years ago. Nobody really talks about it. Thanks for putting it out there.
How long did it take? Would like to know when I can expect to do things with my eyes again

Can you please share what you did to fix your gut health? I’m currently dealing with dry eyes and allergic conjunctivitis. Are you on Keto as well?
@@youheartmelhey did you ever find any relief?
Finally - a video from Dr Berry that doesn’t focus on smoke-shaming us…
Txs 4 all u hard work.
Looking great, Dr. Berry!!!! 👍 Younger than ever!!!
I think this is all good advice, however there is one extra thing I had to do which then suddenly made the big difference to my dry eyes: get rid of demodex mites. These mites live on most people, they actually live INSIDE the meibomian glands and only emerge in darkness to mate and then return back inside again. They cause the oil to clog. When I wake up in darkness I get a tea tree oil wipe and get rid of them. It sounds bizarre but it is completely true. There are demodex removal wipes specifically made for this.
Do they make the eyelid itch and swell??? Cant stand much more. Doc says allergy but it's only one eye
Thank you so much for showing up and making the difference to our lives!
Sjogren’s Syndrome here. I’ve wanted to dig my eyes out with a spoon due to pain. I’m on two eyedrops several times a day. I’ve had surgery on one eye and don’t care to ever go through that again. Following you has helped keep me on track. I’ve seriously thought of making the trek to TN to see if I need to make you my permanent pcp.
Thanks alot..
Back in 1986 I had a laser surgery closure of part of the tear duct on eacheye. It didn;t work and I have had this issue for decades. I have been on Keto for 5 weeks graduating into it and like all the other benefits I just realized the last few days that my dry eyes are almost completely gone. It is disappearing like every other form of inflamation I had.
Wow, thanks so much! I hated the burning of my dry eyes, and your advice has helped improve them amazingly.
Not only to ketovore vastly improve my dry eye, it totally got rid of my floaters too!
Thank you so much Dr Berry for teaching me about my severe dry eyes! I’ve been given so many drops by my doctors that scare me and make me feel worse because of you I feel I can help my self* I need you Your amazing*
Thank you!! Living in dry Colorado, this is great advice. We love our Keto diet & lifestyle and have had excellent health benefits so far. But, we’ll add even more of the foods you’re recommending to deal better with our low-humidity climate here, which often creates moderately (but still uncomfortable!) itchy, dry eyes. Your advice has always been proven to be Golden for us!🥰
Colorado here too, and this diet helps so much with that and also dry skin 😊
Boy did I need this video! Best birthday present ever....Thanks doc!
I have very dry eyes and I noticed since I changed my diet and I’m eating carnivore my eyes are much better
How long did it took to see improvements?
Daniel, I am 68 and had dry eye syndrome for decades. I was keto for 1 year and then started carnivore/ketovore and my dry eye symptoms improved after 6 months. Not totally gone but I can wake up in the am and not have to put eye drops in my eyes because they are sticky.
This is PURE GOLD !! saved to my YT Medical list. Thanks Doc.
I have Sjogrens Syndrome, which is an autoimmune disease. The dry eye and Mybomiun glad disfunction was the first of several symptoms. The best thing I’ve done is cut carbs, hence Keto, and now almost Carnivote. The increase in animal fat, and having my own chickens laying beautiful eggs has helped tremendously.
👍👍👍
I am vegan (anti cruelty grounds) Now iam keto, high fat and low carbs, sugar and seed oil. My dry eyes were terrible...felt like i had razor blades in them. Now, my dry eyes are 95% improved. I will try some of yr suggestions. Thnku.
Add good nutrients and minus bad food from your life and you be in great shape. Very simple advice. Thank doc.
Simple but not easy.
My mom(68yrs old)has been suffering for a decade. She told me the other day that after taking marine based collagen for 8 months she started seeing the results for her eye dryness & hair thickness. She did not expect this because she initially started taking it for her face & arthritis. According to her her usage of lubricant drop significantly dropped to 3x/day from 15x/day & her hair would fall off like crazy but now her hair strands are not only thicker also not falling off as much. Even her hairstylist mentioned that her hair got fuller & didn’t fall oof as much while he was styling her hair.
What exactly did your mom eat? Can you please elaborate? I want to follow. Thanks a lot.
@@geetamkurve7070 just google marine based collagen
Wow, Who would know the dry eye had a root in the food too. I always heard associations with exposure to dust, contaminated places, sun, overfocused behavior, and that it provoked carnocity to the side of middle face. Thank you very much. Topics like this are excuse for my dad and I to stay in contact. It is amazing the years you have in your area of work, 30 years I heard. Thank you for sharing good knowledge!
Wow! My hubby is on your your diet, the one to lose weight, and fix his diabetes! So I’m already eating some of the things 😊 AND... he’s lost 20 lbs, & is off one of his meds! He feels better, and looks so much better!

@@ajoykangabam5144 any updates on your journey so far in tye 2 weeks? Just really curious if it gelped
What about avoiding nuts, eggs and dairy high in omega 6?
My eyes are so dry before bed when extremely tired and also when I first arise in the morning.
Same lol
I have had a big improvement in my dry eye condition by eliminating sugar from my diet. I did this to look for improvement in my fibromyalgia. So i did have some improvement in that as well. I think part of the dry eyes for me are the drugs that i take for pain and sleep
Anyway it’s good to have improvement in my eyes
I do think as well that certain medications, like some to treat thyroid ailments, are implicated in the emergence of dry eye problems in their users, sharon bayger. Helpful point.
I guess the thing is to figure out how to get the benefit of such a medication & yet bypass the dry eyes symptom.
Hello Sharon, thanks for your message. I also developed Fibromyalgia in the last 2 years. Kindly tell me the diet you used to get healed of this problem. I have pains all over my body. It reduces when I do sports and physiotherapy.
Thanks

I had outpatient surgery 3 days ago to remove a tumor on my uterus, no cancer. I ended up staying an extra couple of days bc my internal organs were out of place with scar tissue and it ended up being a more complicated surgery. Since I wasn’t expecting to stay I didn’t have my lid wipes or anything. Ever since, my eyes seem cured of dry eye.
I wonder if the tumor (grapefruit size), was causing inflammation or an infection? Since surgery i also no longer have back pain. I realize this could be temporary, but I’m praying for a full recovery of my weird symptoms.
I didn’t have dry eye problems until I developed glaucoma over 30 years ago. Some surgeries were less than effective, I think some of them were mistakes and in my right eye I had nine different surgeries and six in my left eye. Cataract surgery began problems with my left eye which in the past was not a problem with glaucoma like the right eye was. So I developed gout and I’m not supposed to eat any kind of organ meat like liver. I still do eat some of it I know there’s so many things on the gout list of no no’s that you must eat something to live. What did man do 500 years ago? I suppose just die of something early. I guess I didn’t mention, I’m blind in my right eye about 95%, I can see light but nothing beyond that. I also didn’t mention that my surgeon recommended that I get eyelid surgery for droopy eyelids, that contributed to dry eyes as well so I have used drops in the past, I’ll see what I can do to make it better. Everything that they say is bad now in a year or two they’ll say it is good, like butter.
Thank you, Dr. Berry. My husband has “dry eye” and suffers with redness, swelling, continuous tearing in his right eye only. I’ve heard that tear duct plugs would help. I never knew this about those types of foods you’d mentioned. I’ll definitely be updating our Ketogenic Lifestyle to accommodate the needs of his mobian glands for the excretion of mebum. What an excellent explanation. Serendipitously, we reside in the Pacific Northwest. I am so glad you listed those foods to avoid (as well as the advice on the dietary supplements...I AGREE WHOLEHEARTEDLY). Thank you!
Kathleen Dexter --- I beg you, get your husband some iodine. Read what I wrote in this comment section about it. You put drops in your beverage, not the eye.
My husband had that, and was later diagnosed with Acute Angle Glaucoma. Need to monitor eye pressures.
I had tear duct plugs put in many years back. They never helped, only had them in about 6 months because the ducts became infected and they had to push them out...would never recommend anyone getting them.
My eye doc put put plugs in my eyes. One eye never produced the first tear. The other one constantly watered and would run down my face. I had to carry a tissue all the time. It was like I was looking thru water. Two weeks later I had them removed. The plugs were an expensive mistake.
@@marilynguinnane4663 I've been taking iodine for other benefits, but I do remember tear production (saliva and sweat also) as benefits of supplementing or inability of those things as symptoms of iodine deficiency.
You are hilarious! We cauterize the puntum... we don't sew eyelids shut. Usually try a little plug first. The rest was SPOT ON!!! Better info than most ophthalmologists will bother to give.
Thank you so much Doc!!! ❤❤. I have suffered from this for years and this is the first time I have ever heard why or how to fix it. I thought I was doomed to buy eye drops the rest of my life. Thank you so much!!
Ever since I’ve been eating much more cholesterol heavy foods my dry eyes are no more!!!
I’m hooked on Carnivore diet and hooked on your fabulous health teaching. Thank you soooo very much.
You are very correct in many ways!
Vitamin A - how interesting that I KNOW when my pug needs liver, because his eyes get all squinty, blinky and full of sticky gunk. I I just thought it worked cos it's so rich in nutrients. He'll even hoe into it raw, which he will not do with raw minced beef. A week of even the highest-quality, grain-free canned dog food will effect his eyes so much that I have to put him on carnivore and include liver. And then the bloodshot whites of his eyes go really white, too. My dog's been a great experiment, to see just how beneficial to health ditching starches is.
Interesting!
thanks I have a pug too that gets boogy eyes. I'll add more liver ro his diet.
Thanks for sharing
I feed my Yorky raw meat liver kidneys she loves it
No pork
This advice worked for me. My eyes were very painful, excruciating to blink sometimes. Since going strict Keto, no more problems with dry eyes for the last 7 months.
Keto ???
I've had dry eyes for years, had refractive lens exchange two years ago which should have made it worse but since eating keto for one year now it has almost gone!
I was diagnosed with dry eye in my 40's the optometrist gave me different drops to try..I picked Bion tears and have used them ever since ...they come in a box and are singular....they are about $13 a box but the doctor can write a script and you get 3 boxes for a script price . It's worth it😊
This is so awesome! My eyes keep getting super red lately, so I really appreciate this info!
THANK YOU for this information. I've had night time dry eye for over a year and just thought it was part of menopause. I'll be opening up the sardine can at dinner soon
I came across an eye doctor that recommended a supplement he tried for 90 days for his own dry eye syndrome. It’s De 3. I noticed a difference in my eyes after 2 days. And that’s with having Bell’s palsy on top of dry eye.
Thank you so much. I have suffered with this for several years. It’s miserable.
I never really thought of it as dry eye because it was always accompanied with other allergy symptoms. I just lumped them all together as allergies, especially since the optometrist once told me I had allergic conjunctivitis.
Since I started keto, and more particularly since I stopped eating yogurt, my "seasonal" allergies have disappeared. And until just now I didn't even realize that the dry irritated eyes were also no longer a problem.
I probably need to nix the dairy to see if it is problematic. Cheese is a go to at lunch, so it's going to be hard!
Great Video, Dr Berry 🙂
Thank you 👍
Thank you. From today I started your diet, which you write. I have had dry eyes for 15 years. The doctors did not tell me what was wrong with my eyes. A small country and little competition for doctors
I agree about root cause... everything you are saying is right. But Makuna honey eye drops were a real game changer. They hurt like a bugger when you put them in but afterwards... amazing.
I was just talking to someone about this, she got a "prescription" for O3 EFAs. Told her about wet tears and "sticky" tears and how she needs small fatty fish. Hopefully I can get her to watch this so she won't think I'm such a nut.
I take a high quality
Norweigan cod liver oil with high dha and EPA A very clean product. No omega 6. Will this not help?

Cod liver oil has vit A. It helped me tremendously rather than regular fish oil

I have been suffering dry eyes on and off for about a year now. I knew it was food related but had thought it was a reaction caused by something I had eaten...never realized it could be a lack of something. Just realized my eyes were good this morning...not dry or the kids sticking to the eyeball! And what did I eat for supper last night? A big plate of smelt friend in beef tallow! I ate more tonight too! And I have enough for another meal tomorrow night. I've been eating more fish and before I wasn't eating any at all. Was only eating lamb, eggs & grass fed milk/ yogurt. Found out I was sensitive to milk and eggs though!
Do you know for sure it's the eggs and not what the chickens are fed? Some people find out that when they eat eggs from chickens NOT fed corn/soy, they don't have problems. Just some info to consider.
@@w1975b the problem is that ALL of the eggs sold around here no matter the brand are proudly marked "fed a vegetarian diet" which means they are fed corn & wheat. And I react to all grains.

Thank you very much for this video. I know have no doubt a low fat diet with wrong thinking about healthy oils gave me serious dry eye problems. Eye doctors have tried over priced moisture and redness drops, tetracycline over months, expensive prescription eye drops, laser treatments and recently two rounds of name brand steroid drops with temporary relief. I have been on a keto diet for less than a month now and have seen amazing positive changes. Love the education I get at 61 from your videos to expose the truth. 🙏❤️
sea buckthorn oil helped me a lot (40 drops into my morning oatmeal ) 💝🙏 I find wearing contact lenses more comfortable
I've focused much on the foods listed (fish, meats, butter, yolks), over the past decade + and yet my *Sjogren's induced dry eyes* haven't reversed. Now, I will say... _that it hasn't gotten worse either._

check the gall bladder, if it has stones then your bile is poor and can't process fat and fat soluble vitamines like vit A
check the gall bladder, use bile salts to absorb fats and vit A.
Venus Williams ( the tennis player) has Sjogrens. Despite that, she has been able to play at a fairly high level. It would be interesting to know what kind of program her doctors have her on.
Thank you for your insightful and valuable information about dry eye. I suffer from severe GVHS after undergoing a transplant. I tried using a vegan diet when I had aplastic anemia and it did not work. Now that I have ocular eye disease from cancer I will try to eat more Omega rich foods and foods rich in vitamin a. You have all these so called healers liked Gerson who spoke about juicing before she died but she did not even have ay sort of degree.

I have been suffering from dry eyesa long time. I always thought it was from watching the screen tto much like now. I’m an i formation addict and proud of that. 👊
So I bought pharmacy drops which helped for an hour or so and which cost from 1000 - 2000€ per liter!!!!!! THAT IS INSANE.
so I went looking for an alternative and found CASTOR OIL! Cheap and one drop before bed relieves my eyes for a couple of days ❤.
Now I want to see what food I can add to my meager meals to attack the problem at the source. I do not switch to keto. Never. That is not for me. But I can add stuff to what I eat. IF they are not expensive!
Taking flaxseed oil capsuls have very much helped my eyes retai moisture from the inside out.

I love eating Keto as I have COPD and never smoked got it from second hand smoke from living with smoking parents and now I can breath better and I had Spinal Meningitis in 1965 at 5 weeks old as a baby and my loss of balance issues are still there but are much better and I can walk an hour before I have to sit down and can do my exercises I learned at Physical Therapy without pain and I now have no pain in my head and can grow my hair out from bald now and I can stand up at the stove and cook my lunch without pain and I owe it all to your video telling me what the Keto diet is and oh I have had a laser surgery in 9/1993 to remove my gallbladder and as long as I do not eat foods that are a mouth full of grease I can do Keto and I take generic questran in the morning as soon as I get up to not have diarrhea from my loss of gallbladder. So thank You for making these Keto and Carnivore videos.
Glad to hear you say the Omega 3 supplements are nearly worthless, because most of them contain soybean oil!
